Reuse Your Odd Plastic

Tip of the Day-Medicine Bottles

 

While medication disposal can be tricky, there are more reuse options than we can name for those empty little bottles. Their compact size makes them perfect for quick organization, and their caps usually make them waterproof as well. The most important thing to remember when reusing a medication bottle is to properly sterilize it by washing it with antibacterial soap and warm water before deciding on a reuse option.

The Ultimate Organizer – We could go on and on about different kits you can make with medication bottles. From sewing to first-aid, these bottles easily fit together for tight storage and can be labeled clearly. Glue the bottles together to make a desktop or bathroom drawer organizer. They can also be used as travel-size containers for your shampoos and soaps.

Watering Tool – The small, tube-like structure of a medicine bottle is perfect for watering your plants. Simply remove the cap, poke a small hole in the bottom and embed it into the soil. When your plant is thirsty, simply fill the bottle with water, and it will seep out at an appropriate rate. Use more than one bottle for larger plants. Also, don’t forget to organize your gardening kit! Medicine bottles can also be used to store seeds as the container is designed to protect its contents from light and moisture.
